The recent popularity of online shopping will result in the end of high street shops. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#popularity #street #shops
With the advent of internet accessibility, more and more people are buying things online. Some believe that shopping online can eliminate the need of high
street
 shops while others believe that it can not. I agree with the latter as people still care for the
quality
 and prefer seeing in hand
first
 and
also
 shopping is seen as a
quality
time
 event to spend with others.
To begin
 with the build or texture of a material cannot be known just by looking at pixels on the screen. It is important for people to get the feel of the material they are spending money on.

 I prefer

 of the material after the payment.
Hence

 product when they buy which cannot be guaranteed by online shops.
In addition
, shopping is still considered as an event when we get to spend
time
 and socialise with friends and family.
Although
 almost everything can be bought online, in today's
age most

 a computer so rather than spending more
time
 on the screen heading out to shop. To exemplify, whenever me and my friends want to meet we prefer meeting at high
street
 shops as help each other out in selecting things to

buy, but
 most importantly spend
time
 catching up on things and talk face to face.
Therefore
, people consider
street
 shopping
as
Suggestion
at
 a
time
 to socialise and spend good
time
 with each other. In conclusion, online shopping completely replacing high
street
 shops seems impractical as the authenticity of the product bought is always questionable for the buyers and
street
 shopping brings friends and families together to spend
time
 with each other.
